My nine-year-old son was recently diagnosed with HF autism. Meanwhile, we are in the process of seriously considering a move from AZ to the Boise area. I'm looking for information about schools, programs, opinions about the help that is available in the Treasure Valley area, etc. We've homeschooled first through 4th -- our kindergarten experience was horrible here. I'll certainly consider putting my son in school, though I'd like it to be a slower transition -- he will have a lot to adjust to with just the move and I'm worried that changing his school setting at the same time will be too much.
Are schools in the area known to be cooperative with homeschoolers (as in, providing resources even when the child is not fully enrolled?)
For kids in the school system, do you find that teachers and students are mostly good with your kids, or does a lot of bullying take place, etc?
Any opinions, referrals, suggestions would be appreciated. I have a lot to understand and take in and many important decisions to make since the diagnosis and want to be as informed as possible.
Thanks for any responses.
